blown 944

I am copying a post from pelican

I just thought I'd share over here too

These a just a couple of vids showing how quickly it builds boost

copy:

So I did some video today of the boost gauge to give a comparison to the turbo car. So far I have a few vids uploaded to youtube.

here is an old video showing the free rev boost ability,with larger upper pulley , (less boost)

here is a new video of a minimal effort launch @ 15psi (can't seem to get the turbo car to do this )

here is a cruise vid of running through 3rd and 4th with minimal effort also a couple of free revs to 15 psi

here is a video of me running easily through the gears with a bit of detonation in second (had to add more methanol to the mix man do I need bigger injectors )

I have a couple of longer ones I am going to try to upload to show comparison of my s/c car vs the 951 ( I also tok some vids in the 951 to show how they differ)

I willsay that at no time was I even pushing either of these cars to the limit, just showing what some moderate driving in both is like as far as boost goes.

wow instant boost... an unknown thing for 951 owners.

That's awesome mate! What all did you do besides the blower?

davepnola

Where did you get your supercharger ? Can you show some pics if engine ? I would like to go this route with my 968, but will not pay 6k for a kit . I would rather peice something together .Thanks

Not a whole lot really

it is on E85 fuel
has a cheap 2 stage w/i meth setup
bigger injectors 42#
had an intercooler on it but kept blowing the charge tube off so I'm back to more meth (Looking for new IC)
ported head
WF gasket
using a 87 DME and a an Audi MAF
have modded the FPR
Vortech RRFPR
have a turbo trans in garage for when it kills the na trans.

Overall it is a cheap fun fix that runs pretty good. I've had it going for about 3yrs now I think.

I also have a 951 but this car is a little more fun around town I'd have to say

Dave,

If you go over to Pelican and do a search under "lil mule" I have written out some lenghty posts about it.

here are some quick photos some are older

That sounds awesome. Very different than the turbo sound. Purists will be upset, but no lag is a wonderful thing

YOU BASTARD.

I didn't know superchargers could make that kind of PSI . . .

Nice job.

I agree, purist will be upset, when i first saw this thread i said, no way, can't be true. But i think that was jealousy talking.

Now, that i've had a minute to cool down, i think all forced induction should be able to get along fine.

He He

I really don't think purists would care about a little POS '83 that most likely was headed to the junk yard

jakery

i think the common ground here is that we are a small community that discovered an old car, that, with a little tuning, a lot of money and even more time, can keep up with todays quickest cars.

Personally I look at these cars as sort of a mini Supra. I think they jare ust in their infancy as far as the power limits go.

When I get done with my next round of power mods over the winter either this car or my 951 will be well over 30 psi mark my words . In either one it will have instant boost too.

Nice SLEEPER

Cool setup! Looks like a blower from a T-Bird...

Thanks ^^ yep thats what it's off of.

Can't wait until i get the IC back on, it's is really being hampered at the moment without it.

It smells like my old drag car when I pull back in the garage b/c af how much methanol is being ran through it ...... AHHHH memories ........

special tool

How much?
